Happy Tuesday! Chelsea here.

It seems sort of weird to be talking about an indoor adventure park opening, but I trust all of you to use your best judgment, and to practice good COVID-19 safety precautions, so here it goes. A massive indoor park featuring zip lines, climbing walls, ninja courses, and all sorts of other fun, sporty activities will be opening up soon in Worthington. Here's what you need to know about Play: CBUS before it opens! Even if you don't feel comfortable checking it out right away, it's definitely something you'll want to file away under "cool places to check out in Columbus".

Tomorrow is National Chocolate Day, so I thought it would be prescient to share my FAVORITE place to grab chocolates here in Columbus. Don't sleep on Winans, guys. It's so incredible.
